My issue is this: I'm using a Lyen "Extreme Modder Edition" controller (12 FET) and the supplied cable, which is a USB-SERIAL adaptor cable. I plug it in, I install the appropriate driver to run the USB-SERIAL conversion, but then what do I do about the XPD software? It is looking for a serial connection, but I'm cheating by using a USB instead.
I cannot get the software to recognize that I have a controller plugged into my computer. Suggestions?

I did limited testing of settings only for EB212/Lyen and EB206/Lyen controllers, the rest are untested, thus the real curent limits may happen to be larger than set.
I suspect you're correct about this. I have seen peaks well over 100 amps, when I supposedly have my max programmed at 65amps. However, I suspect that the block-time may have allowed for the over-current condition.NeilP said:That makes me think that XPD. is somehow programming the current more accurately than the original software

That's why my next config I load into my controller will have a block time of ZERO.NeilP said:...I reckon that is what cooked my controller in the first place..I was playing with block times before I killed it...I had tried something like 4 seconds..It was oK for a few days like that so I tried 5 seconds....then .no power ..shorted mosfets...not straight away ..but about 2 days later pulling slowly away from local Parish hall civic offices

Does XPD have a block time of 0 now? I thought I saw it in this thread somewhere...
Perhaps I misled you with the ZERO block time post. I'd like to configure it so the controller NEVER EVER exceeds the limit, not to give it unlimited block time.NeilP said:Have to say that with 20s LiPo and Lyen 65 amp 18 FET controller and a 5304, increasing block time does give better off the line performance
I have I think 1 or 2 seconds now, and would like to push it up a bit, but do not want to risk zapping the MOSFETS again

Floont said:BTW, if you've sent your controller back to Ed already, why not have him beef up your traces to 100amps?
